Ragamuffin Children & The Eastern Winter Tour
29.06.09
Two of Christchurch's finest bands are heading off around New Zealand for a whirlwind winter tour.
Bringing backpacks full of road songs, battered acoustics & no name electrics, banjo, mandolin, glockenspiel, harmonica, foot stomps & old time singing 'The Eastern' from Lyttelton Harbour will keep you smiling through the cold winters night with Whisky in hand..They have just released their debut self titled album after playing over 270 this year, including concerts with US country rebel Steve Earle and Old Crowe Medicine show.
Ragamuffin Children liken their sound to something written in a graveyard whilst holding a tea party and singing nursery rhymes.Charming and beguiling audiences around New Zealand and Europe, with their eerily lilting, handmade folk songs. The 'Ragamuffins', Brooke Singer and Anita Clark weave spooky, rustic melancholia with wry innocence into beautiful, rainy day ballads,. wearing embroidered hearts on their sleeves. They released their album 'The Seahorse Emporium' in February.

I caught Ragamuffin Children at Chartfest in Christchurch a few weeks back. Definitely worth making the effort to catch them live. Unfortunately I missed The Eastern but will try and get along to the Wine Cellar to make up for that.
